[QUOTE=Dr Sardonicus;504635]It might bemuse you to read this [URL="https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/magazine/jerry-falwell-jr-cant-imagine-trump-doing-anything-thats-not-good-for-the-country/2018/12/21/6affc4c4-f19e-11e8-80d0-f7e1948d55f4_story.html?noredirect=on"]Extract of an interview with Jerry Falwell, Jr[/URL].

Me, I was almost acting like the duck leaving the barber shop at the end of the [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VS83HdpzxDU"]AFLAC ad with Yogi Berra[/URL]

My favorite quote from Falwell:

I guess the story told in Mark 12:41-44 and Luke 21:1-4 doesn't mean much to him...[/QUOTE]
What a horrible creature. I guess religious hucksterism must pay pretty well, since he's so firmly up Trump's patootie. Birds of a feather, and all that.

Thanks for the headups, so I won't waste my time reading it :)

Perhaps the most telling part of the interview is this:

[b]Q:[/b] Is there anything President Trump could do that would endanger that support from you or other evangelical leaders?

[b]A:[/b] No.

[i]Il Duce[/i] did say he could go out on Fifth Avenue and shoot someone, and not lose any support. Not, apparently, from the evangelical leaders. This is a classic case of what is called "blind loyalty."

We now turn to the Good Book (KJV), the Book of Matthew, Chapter 15, verse 14:[quote]Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.[/quote]

Actual Drug Dosage Instructions
 
I work for a local Health Company and just happened across the following dosage instructions recorded by a doctor:

(shameless copied from thaivisa.com)[/QUOTE]Man, that could be turned into a [i]real[/i] punishment. Wow. I've heard for a long time that Thailand had a lot to offer along those lines. I never thought of that particular method of, ah, "filling the ranks."

I can see it now...

"How'd someone like you get into this uh, business?"

"I'm working off a shoplifting conviction."

Haha, you should go to thaivisa and read the comments. Easy to find with a search by the phrase. Quite funny material to read, along the same lines you said. If you have nothing to do this weekend and whole next week...

@Serge: genial! :razz:
